Of the Plagues of Egypt

   
For whoso would deny themselves?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would follow and imitate idols?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would appeal to false authorities?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would forget the seventh day?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would overlook the sun and the moon?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would kill outside of need?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would have women in worldly desire?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would take that which is not theirs?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would bear false testimony?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
And whoso would perceive only with the material eye?    
   For this; one of the plagues of Egypt.    
     
The penalties of the ten commandments then:    
- and each do bear their own -  
for each; one of the plagues of Egypt.
